I've just this second finished watching #plasticocean 😳 and cannot get over what I have just seen. I knew plastic was a huge problem, but that film really shows the horrors caused by a product that's become a "normal" part of everyday life. I urge everyone to watch it! - Every piece of plastic ever created still exists - In the last 10 years we have created more plastic than the past century - on average, each person uses 300lbs of single-use plastics PER DAY
- 8 million tonnes of plastic debris makes its way into the ocean every year - in the Med, the ratio of plastic to plankton is 2-1. That makes its way into thousands of species and our food chain.
I was blinded to the effects of plastic for years, but each day I am trying to make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of plastics I use. We don't know the true extent of the environmental damage and health implications caused by plastic, but one thing is certain - none of the effects are positive!
